The current owners are listed as Richard and Sally Elves. Bye, bye, Pacific Grove! “The property has not sold yet,” said Mike Russell, an agent for Carmel Business Sales, the company handling negotiations. “We have several interested parties,” he said. “We hope to have a wonderful new operator in there soon.” The property is listed for a price of $4,200,000. The building’s roof was in need of repair from its age, and from damage by fire from a Molotov cocktail thrown atop Lattitudes before it closed last year. Going to the show (L-R) Wayne, Shirley and Dustin Daniels bid farewell to the Little Store on Buena Vista in Pacific Grove. Shirley and Wayne Daniels little store on Buena Vista in Del Monte Park has been sold — and the new owners will not be operating the store, instead turning the property into living space. It’s the end of an era. “We really will miss the neighborhood and the great people here, but it’s time to go home,” said Shirley Daniels. The store was a tiny commercial enclave in the neighborhood, selling everything from hot coffee to milk to fresh sandwiches. Recently they had become a drop-off point for PG&E payments as well. The first owner was a man named Phillips who opened the store around 1950. Three women bought him out, then sold it to the Bergaras. Grace Bergara still lives in a comfortable house across the street. She and her hus- band were the third owners of the store. Grace gets a kick out of telling stories of the old days. “When we had the store, these house lots were all up for sale. We paid five hundred dollars for this one.” From there it changed hands several times and was eventually sold to a family named Flynn. The Flynns put it up for sale in 1986, along with an adjoining house as part of the property. Wayne and Shirley Daniels looked it over and made an offer. They have owned the property since that time. The Daniels leased the store to another party who was not successful. Those people closed the store and cleared out. The Daniels took the property back, restocked, and attempted to make it viable. “The people have been so great,” Wayne said, back in 2009 when we first inter- viewed him. “We even have people who left the area and live in another state, who visit the store and say, “When I was a kid, I used to buy my candy here.” This time the move is permanent. “Wayne turned 80 last January,” said Shirley. They’re planning to move to Henderson, NV where they have family, and where they Phil and Carol Galanti are all dressed up and ready to go to the 54th annual had been living when they had to repossess the store and return to Pacific Grove.

    Video: The USA and Nicaragua Now: Brian Willson An interview with S. Brian Willson By S. Brian Willson and Tortilla Con Sal Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, August 31, 2020 Theme: History Tortilla con Sal: We’re here with Brian Willson, Viet Nam veteran and onetime criminal lawyer. Brian has written extensively about US imperialism and its effects around the world and what people in Nicaragua are especially interested in right now Brian is what’s happening in the United States as a result of the murder on May 25th of George Floyd. What’s your take on that? Brian Willson: Well I think that 8 minute 46 second video focused on that policeman with his knee on George Floyd’s neck and his hand in his pocket as he’s looking at the camera, I think that picture finally disclosed viscerally 400 years of white exceptionalism in a way that people could feel, viscerally, that this is what people had been going through through our entire history in the United States and before it even became the United States. It exposed the fake identity of white supremacy in a way that nothing else has been able to do like that video. And it changed the whole culture in a way. It affected everybody, not just in the United States but in the world. These demonstrations against police violence are happening all over the world, not just in the United States. Now I’m a white male, who because of that has been privileged and I discovered in Viet Nam that that privilege had become a disability because it had made me in a way, stupid.

Library. Berkeley, CA 94709 Abstract: The Pledge of Resistance began in 1984 in response to the threat of U.S. invasion into Nicaragua. The national structure grew as people signed the pledge resisting the U.S. government's policies toward Central America. Signals for actions were sent out from the national center to the local groups whose members committed civil disobedience and protested policies seen as interventionist and repressive. Groups which worked closely with the Pledge included the Inter-Religious Task Force for Central America, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, the American Friends Service Committee, and the San Francisco Bay Area's Emergency Response Network, and Bay Area Pledge of Resistance.

  • The Slippery Slope U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico
    The Slippery Slope - U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico Page 1 of 24 The Slippery Slope U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico By S. Brian Willson Contents z Foreword z Section I: United States Militarization of Mexico z Section II: Unmasking the Drug War z Section III: Poverty and Misery-Aggravation by NAFTA z Section IV: Militarization and Repression in Mexico Personal Introduction On February 9, 1995, while traveling south on curvy, mountainous Chiapas Highway 173, we encountered a long, heavily supplied Mexican military convoy, carrying hundreds of armed soldiers. Among the new uniforms and equipment, I believed I recognized U.S. material, armored personnel carriers among them. The convoy moved north towards Simojovel, the highland's village we had just left. Later I learned that we had seen the beginning of a major military offensive which ravaged many communities, and whose goal was the capture of Zapatista leaders. Only a few days earlier, on January 31, 1995, U.S. President Bill Clinton had begun orchestrating the controversial $50 billion bailout of the then collapsing Mexico economy. Though Congress opposed the deal, Clinton was adamant. He bypassed Congress and facilitated the fiscal relief package through other channels: loans from discretionary public sources and from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other international funds. This unprecedented action suggests the high stakes involved in assuring a "healthy," stable Mexican economy so important under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the new corporate global economy that NAFTA promotes and requires. I have come to understand that this kind of economy is defined and driven by various international speculators, domestic wealthy interests, and World Bank and IMF theorists and programs.

One can almost trace the mod- ern history of nonviolent movements in America by following the trail of his acts of resistance over the past 60 years. His life has been an unbroken series of sit-ins for civil rights, seagoing blockades of munitions ships sailing for Vietnam, land blockades of trains carrying bombs to El Salvador, arrests at the Diablo nuclear reac- tor and the Livermore nuclear weapons lab, Occupy movement marches, and interna- tional acts of peacemaking in Russia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, Iran and Palestine. It all began at the very dawn of the Freedom Movement when the teenaged Hartsough met Martin Luther King and Ralph David Abernathy at a church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 as the min- isters were organizing the bus boycott at the birth of the civil rights struggle.
